TRUST by Jason

TRUST BY JASON He dived in before me Was he a God? Was he my Guide? And he began swimming In the deep strong waving lake I walked to the edge I was frightened as I looked at the unknown lake Thinking of sharks waiting Of the lake waiting to Swallow me whole I dived in and started to swim You seeee, I trusted him My guide who was front crawling with vigour And when I looked back I saw the tiny island I used To live on

TRUST by Pietro Fiorentini

Ode to trust A resounding voice in our head that tells us not to doubt A silver lining of what's life about Trust trust, Betrayed you were! Pulling yourself in the land of nowhere You did just Yet you feel vulnerable The warmth of trust has now faded away And all you have are your empty hands Now you feel like a ship With no sea underneath And you are left With just a breeze But as the sun arises The earth rumbles Nature shines With all it's power and with all it's might! There she comes! A smiling face Like a Phoenix Fire burns in me Trust trust, What a beautiful feeling Like a bird flying next to that same ship with no sea underneath it. Rock n'roll, Pietro Fiorentini

TRUST by Linsey Taylor

Trust Is Trust reliance on someone’s word Triggered by what appears to occur Is it deep down instinct at first glance or long time coming, not on chance ? What is it, what does Trust really mean? It’s not the same when you’re seventeen When you’re young, friendships are sealed Like none when you’re older, holding a shield Is Trust faith rather that what you know? Does Trust diminish as knowledge grows? Do you Trust what scientists say parallel universes, evolution? or do you pray for absolution? Do you Trust somewhere there’s a better place Is it in other dimensions or outer space? Do you Trust we’re here now on this earth? Or is it instead techno rebirth- As some physicists diagnose we’re in 2 D, in the cosmos It’s only light from there to here in 3 dimensions we appear and perceive we’re here on this rock instead we’re in some far flat spot, 3 D on earth- only a scam Instead it’s all a hologram So many versions, a whole array Do those cause Trust to go astray in this ‘Age of Knowledge’ or so they say ? Does Trust come easier when you don’t over think ? Does that make you more in sync with traditional Trust -have faith, don’t ask why you’ll have the answers in the sweet by and by Is it still human nature or against the grain to Trust, have faith that we’ll live again? To Trust fellow travellers through this earth in times of so much to disconcert? Are we in a world where Trust is a weakness Preyed upon by those rapacious and ruthless Taken down like a Serengeti wildebeest less able than others to stand on its feet ? Is Trust in fact a two edged sword One side can protect us, the other can gore unless we know who, when, where, how to Trust have instinct, fate, knowledge not to combust? Was Trust imbedded in our genes to bind families, communities, teams in an early world to help us survive improve all our lives, meeting our needs Is Trust key for humanity to succeed? If it is, who takes heed? "); Trust Is Trust reliance on someone’s word Triggered by what appears to occur Is it deep down instinct at first glance or long time coming, not on chance ?

TRUST by Sherva

TRUST TRUST, THE BEST GIFT TO GIVE OR TO GET. FREEDOM TO CONFIDE WITHOUT REGRET. SECRETS ARE SAFE, THEY ARE GUARDED WELL. WITH A PROPER PROMISE NOT TO TELL. BLESSED YOU ARE, IF YOU HAVE A TRUE FRIEND. UNHESITATING TO DEFEND. TRUST IS FRAGILE, CAN BE BROKEN REDUCING IT TO A MERE TOKEN. EXPECT THE BEST, PREPARE FOR THE OTHER. TEMPORARY SUBSTITUTE, YOUR MOTHER.

TRUST by Maddy

Trust TRUST When one utters I trust you Or do you trust me? An invisible cord forms An agreement is established That binds two souls at the Heart The cord stays intact creating Pain if the agreement is not kept When you realize the concept Attached to the word trust Used in the context above The unnecessary expectations Imposed upon Another It would be wise not to utter No one is perfect and we live In a complex universe Where chaos and structure co-exist

If

If If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you; If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too: If you can wait and not be tired by waiting, Or, being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated don't give way to hating, And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise; If you can dream - and not make dreams your master; If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim, If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster And treat those two impostors just the same:. If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools, Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken, And stoop and build'em up with worn-out tools; If you can make one heap of all your winnings And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss, And lose, and start again at your beginnings, And never breathe a word about your loss: If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew To serve your turn long after they are gone, And so hold on when there is nothing in you Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!" If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue, Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch, If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you, If all men count with you, but none too much: If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run, Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!

Theme for September 2013 is TRUST

Martin Kennedy "Mirror" (second)

reflecting back a knew light engaged
in sight seeing thy soul fly in mists
window so high.

new world the story in portrait shape
looking back looking in at the reflecting
king.

colours of this rainbow a wash with gold
shining eyes peering out sing and shout
for the untamed mirror clearer now
for it sees summers sun cleaning
house.

Mirror by Justine

You’re My Mirror

Telling lies, that I’m okay
No conscience
Exact, I think,
Always reflective
Of the outside
Only in segments
Portions,
In Stages 123
Unless in full length

The cracked mirrors
More revealing
More accurate
Maybe,
Like a rippled lake
Trying to show
More depth

Mirrored,
No warmth,
Cold and hard
You’re shallow, flat
A copycat

You stare at
Off white walls
Magnolia,
Chip wood
And doors
All sorts
Hallways and stairs

Sometimes you catch me
In passing
In reflection
I see you,
I smile and
You smile back
I cry and
You reply
Simultaneously,
With tears

I bleed and
You copy
I laugh, but its
Not funny
I’m only laughing
on the outside
But you don’t know that
Cos your
Only a mirror

You don’t have ears
But you hear everything,
You’re not nosey
Just very aware,
One-dimensional.
You take the stance
Of face value

Cold,
Smooth,
You have
No other option,
You don’t smell
Or record
You’re just a voyeur

Your taste is of
The moment
The seconds
The minute

No record
No memory
Only the present
No worries

But you have
Something special
Like a cat,
You can see
In the dark



Justine McLaughlin

Mirror By Martin Kennedy

reflecting back images of chance
enhancing light space and view
looking through windows blue glass

seeing two glancing new
flying flight dancing through reflection
within the sand crystal clue cosmic
glue climb on through to the next space

spying eyes shooting skys light
taking flight seeing a refective view
its breaking in opening thy door to
next worlds. a shore line of skipping rainbows
souls die and joy of living again so romancing

oh fires joyous toy sitting up on a wall
saying i'm the prettiest of them all
call an' see me reflected on thy waterfall
renewing yesterdays call.

Mirror By Maddy

Mirror

Mirror Mirror on the wall
I woke one morning seeing a birdie,
having a chat with himself in a mirror
standing against the back yard wall.

Very funny, i can not explain the sight i saw
The feeling inside me shifted to thought....

Mirror mirror on the wall
Tell me, did we humans do the same,
A very very long time ago?
Our reflection shining back in the river flow.

Mirror mirror on the wall
Did we manage to see the image of Self?
I have to admit you are a brilliant tool
Somehow I know your follower will not be fooled.

Mirror By Erato (In French)

Miroir miroir
Dans tes yeux je lis
Le noir et la vie
Le reflet soudain
D’une joie sans fin
La beauté du soir
L’éphémère jour
Le temps passoire
Et l’espace qui court
Miroir miroir
Dans tes yeux je lis
Une âme qui jouit
De l’espoir infini
Une lumière jaillit
Et mon cœur sourit…

Mirror By Val Fletcher

The eyes are the mirror of our soul, the mirror shows us our face, our face shows our mood and our smile can change the day, and change the way we feel. Look in the mirror and see yourself, erase the frown thats lurking there, its all too easy to forget, smile and see the change and feel the change, you can only feel good and see the effect of a smile on other people when you smile at them, like a mirror they always smile back and that makes for a good day.
